The year 820 AS is running in the devastated House of Liberty, at war with the nearby House of Rheinland from over four years, four long years of suffering, death and pain for its population. Everything is a collateral effect that happened more than six hundred years ago, but which became a nightmare in 819 AS.
The Dallas Black Hole, within the nearby system of Georgia, a system being swallowed, slowly, by it. And with its event horizon covered in wrecks of many exploration vessel that in the eve of 819 AS, after an initial antimatter storm, entered in the newly formed jumphole to check the source of all the incoming, deadly and highly irradiated material.
Battleship Missouri, being in orbit around Planet Houston at that time, was the first target of the black death, having its electrical systems overcharged and cut off, but with the core of the battleship still active, despite the fact that their electrical cooling systems were off. They were destined to die that day, cooked within the ship that they served on, with no hope to be saved.
Planet Houston instead was evacuated immediately by the 1st 'Manhattan' Flotilla, lead by Admiral Marcus Walker, a relatively new admiral renown for being one of the saviours of Liberty after the events of the Nomad Wars, captured by the Liberty naval unit Unity in 800, emprisoned till 803 AS for treason, but then assolved and having his rank reinstated within the Navy.
The Liberty Police Detention Facility, LPDF Sugarland, during the initial shockwave from the antimatter cloud, suffered a riot from the electrical failure that due to an error within the security application, opened all the cells, but unfortunately leaving the station without vital support, thus killing all the personnel and inmates in it.
The Liberty Police Jail Huntsville, LPJ Huntsville, instead was the first station to send a distress signal to New York, informing them about the current situation.
Beaumont Base, a small junker station on the borders of the Grande Negra, was the heaven for all the pirates that managed to escape the death wave. The pirates that hid in the Pequena and Grande Negras are believed to be dead due to the shockwave.
The Jumpgate that once connected Texas to New York is now in the Zero Safety Zone, or ZSZ, of Texas. In which persistent radiation can be fatal. Near it, the DSE research facility, Cape Canaveral Research Station, was built in order to study the system's state and the nearby Georgia system. The Trade lane was destroyed in the shockwave, and any kind of vessels are forced to use standard FTL drives in order to pass through the system.
Current Status
The Liberty Navy and the Rheinland Military are known to engage eachother in one of the most dangerous zones in Texas, said zones being the highly irradiated gates of Bering and Hudson and in orbit around the wreck of the Missouri. The Rheinland Military Hospital Ship Wilhelm Gustloff was deployed near the Jump Gate of Bering, aiding Rheinland Military pilots and sometimes Liberty Navy prisoners of war aswell. Said prisoners of war, after being cured by radiation and other wounds are known to be shipped back into Hamburg, on the military detention facility of Vierlande.
LPDF Sugarland became a safe place for pirates and freelancers, daring enough to steal and scavange what was left on the station during the general evacuation of the system in 819 AS.
General Modding Spoilers: The jumphole connecting Texas to Puerto Rico is surronded by 5x radiation zones.
General Modding Spoilers: The Pequena Negra and the Grande Negra advanced and covered the Trade Lane.
